An ideal way to fight off a bully is to report any incident of bullying to teachers, parents and other school authorities. Gathering evidence of the bullying incident like taking a video or a picture can also help raise awareness on bullying and present proof of abuse which can then lead to an appropriate punishment to the guilty.

This is important in discouraging other school bullies from hurting their classmates. Parents, teachers and students should also be aware that bullying is not only manifested through physical abuse.

Verbal abuse, cyberbullying and discrimination are also common forms of school bullying. Therefore, parents should teach their children every step on how to deal with the different forms of school bullying in order to protect their mental, emotional and physical well-being.
